Never forget. Never again.

Yom HaShoah (Yom HaShoa, Yom HaZikaron l’Shoah ve-l’Gvura) officially translates to ”Remembrance Day for the Holocaust and Heroism”, but is often known as ”Holocaust Remembrance Day” in English. It is an occasion to commemorate the lives and heroism of the six million Jewish people who died in the Holocaust between 1933 and 1945.

Yom HaShoah is on the 27th day of Nisan, the first month of the ecclesiastical year in the Jewish calendar – this year it’s between the eve of April 23 to the eve of April 24.
